Ulysses Veterinary Clinics Cairns Senior Health Checks

As pets age their healthcare needs change. Senior pets are more prone to age-related conditions such as arthritis, dental disease, kidney or liver issues and vision or hearing loss. Early detection through routine health checks allows for timely intervention, helping your pet enjoy their golden years to the fullest.

At our Cairns veterinary clinics, senior health checks include a comprehensive physical examination, blood tests, urinalysis, and sometimes diagnostic imaging, including ultrasounds and X-rays. During appointments our Cairns vets will evaluate your pet’s mobility and weight, and based on the findings, provide personalised recommendations for managing your pet’s health, including any treatment plans, or lifestyle adjustments required.

At Ulysses Cairns vets we know pets are a part of the family and work closely with you to identify any changes in behavior or physical condition, that may indicate underlying issues. With regular senior health checks, we can help ensure your pet stays happy, healthy and comfortable as they age.

We took our bull arab to Ulysses from her first lepto shot to her last breath 💔 and really appreciated their support, their expertise, and their honesty. The whole team there is visibly passionate about animals and want the best outcomes for you and your pet.I have a lot of admiration for the work they do, the tough situations they face every day, and the empathy and professionalism they need to show. Highly recommend!
Response from the owner: Thank you for your very kind words Sophie. Kimberley was one of a kind ❤️
We have been provided services for our chickens and quail several times and have found Ulysses Stratford to be very professional, friendly and compassionate.
Response from the owner: Thank you very much for your kind review V!
5 stars for the best vet clinic. The team always looks after our little loved ones. I really appreciate their pricing and that I never feel pushed into getting something for my pets. We have struggled to find a good vet but im glad to say we have now. We drive 30mins to get there and its worth it everytime.
Response from the owner: Thank you very much for your kind review Jacinta. Much appreciated!
Response from the owner: Thank you for the 5 stars Francis!
We love Ulysses! Every staff member here from front desk to vet are such skilled, kind and patient people. With two nervous rescue dogs (Nigel & Millie) I’ve always left feeling like I’ve had a thorough consult in a judgement free zone. Never difficult to get in, fairly priced and very diligent staff. Would comfortably recommend to anyone looking for a new Vet Clinic 🩵
Response from the owner: Thank you for your kind review, big hugs to Nigel & Millie!
Absolutely trust Demian and his team with everything they do and their expertise. Wouldn't go anywhere else in Cairns!
Response from the owner: Thank you for your very kind review, Nick!

Response from the owner: Thanks for the fantastic review Bill, big Christmas cuddles to Lilly & Harley!
Professional and friendly. Highly recommend
Response from the owner: Thank you for your awesome review, Tiah! Much appreciated :)
Dr Carole is our trusted home vet, so it was an automatic decision to attend the Ulysses vet Clinic where Dr Carole is based when our beloved elderly dog had to have an operation on his ear. Surprise, surprise: not only is the clinic in an easy-to-find location with adequate parking, but the Ulysses team are truly tops, showing genuine love, care and understanding to their patients and their human companions. After our elderly dog's operation, we were explained the medical condition and aftercare treatment in a way I understood. To top it off, the vets wisely decided that my boy didn't need the unnecessary vaccination he'd been given previously, and they explained why. This proved, without a doubt, that for the first time in years and years, I'd found a Vet Clinic that was in for the health of their patients, not for the money. Then I received the bill. It was about half the price I expected to pay. And my dog's recovery after surgery? Fantastic, absolutely fabulous. Thank you, Ulysses Vet Clinic. You are much appreciated.
Response from the owner: Thank you for such a lovely review Magda, we're so glad to hear Leroy is recovering well!
